That happened to a good mate of mine back in the 80’s before keyholevsurgery.
Woke up.
Wrong knee done…
O shall oversee the shaving before they paralyze me with the needle on the spine
I hope you are referring to hairy knees 
Luckily yes.
Was worried and asked the docs. For my Tumour Op the beard had to go so the oxygen mask would fit.
Not for this one however. Did have a wtf moment and was assured i would be out cold but different meds!
I am checked in. Having breakfast of white bread sour cherry jam and something white not cream or cream cheese or yoghurt but at least food & made a coffee.
Everyone very nice & helpful. Blood test done crutch walking lesson done v shakily need to do an hour of it and have a shower today
Anna trying to find a way home probably bus to Krakow.
Tomorrow pack and move to ICU/Post Op room more crutches work and shower.
Friday need to check out early as yes am going straight to Kszeszowice rehab need to be there by 8am but need to find own transport to get there.

It used to be just a traffic jam on the wayto Katowice Airport for me. It may well have once been the New Hospital. But the balconyvat the end of the corridor has DO NOT STAND HERE signs and UWAGA/DANGER
Orthopaedic ward is on 4th floor 2nd building. I look out the back from that snap.
Very village. Lovely crew all fluent in Google Translate. Knee Doc speaks good English. Real village - everyone smokes in the toilet or on the stairs!
I feel like a pin cushion already, the bed is Rock hard, llunch was edible once i drownedit in salt
Beetroot Borscht followed by Pork neck Buckwheat & Sauerkraut
Looks awful but aint ggetting anything else.
No Uber Eats out here!
Jeez I could tell you graphically what that looks like to me, but in fairness your system is probably still digesting it.

Dont have them here. The locals have different levels of places.
EG im getting moved into a hospital for up to 6 weeks.
MiL is getting sent to a hospital/spa by the sea…
They have services here, not costs to cut.
Its a very old fashioned philosophy but serms to work but ill probably reserve judgement until the pain meds kick in tomorrow
So.
I’ve been here 21 hours 3 blood tests, 2 x 500ml of IV isotonic plasma and i have shaved my knee.
I am not saying i am bored (or stressed) of waitinghungry/thirsty but I’m actually reading LinkedIn notifications having deleted 7 years of junk emails to my never used gmail account…
